Tuesday, August 19, 2003 The Pitch: It's like, um, That Guy Who Fell Asleep for a Really Long Time meets, um, Stuff! It's time for the Tuesday Thud. I didn't even realize until today I suffer from the Tuesday Thud, but I do.The Tuesday Thud is what keeps me feeling asleep and thick-headed and gives me beady piggy eyes when I look in the mirror. I guess it has to do with getting up as early as I do on the days I do--Monday's all right, but Tuesday comes and I'm aphasiac, slothful and dull. Today's a slightly rougher thud than usual because I made it to the cafe to write, got about a hundred words in, and then the PDA flashed the low battery warning. I saved my document, broke out my replacement batteries, and swapped them out. Turned the PDA back on--and everything was gone. They warn you that this sort of thing can happen--take too long pulling your batteries, or pull them with the power on, and you do a soft reboot of your machine that wipes out everything not ROM'd onto the damn thing. It has never, in five years of owning Palm Pilots, happened to me. Until this morning. I think--if I remember correctly--I am not significantly boned. I can go home tonight, sync it with my PC, and get it all back (although I can't remember if I have to restore programs like the BART planner--I probably do) and I think, most importantly, I synched up recently enough that I won't lose any of my writing. If this had happened last week, I would have been out about four days of work, and I would have been absolutely crestfallen. Instead, I lethargically listened to the piped-in Sinatra, finished my coffee, and went to work early to eat cereal. The idea was to write about this as soon as I got in. That was three and a half hours ago. Thud. posted by Jeff Lester | 11:07 AM | |
